Sheltered In Alone

SHELTERED IN ALONE Between the silence whispered in your head and what you cannot see in front of you, each morning of each day you know, but dread, as if a curse is all your life will do; you love to love, but hide away from it, and sheltered in alone, you wonder why somebody might see you, and stay a bit, but all they do is look and pass you by. Deep in your heart is love too seldom known, it cries out for someone to make it shine, and I would give my life for what you've shown, but sealed up tighter than a cask of wine; and though I know our love could never be each time I see you, still it cries to me. © 2002 ron wilson arbuthnot aka Vee Bdosa the Doylestown Poet
